World number one Rafael Nadal won a record-equalling sixth French Open title when he beat Roger Federer 7-5 7-6(3) 5-7 6-1 in a pulsating final at Roland Garros. Nadal, who turned 25 on Friday, joins Bjorn Borg in getting his name on the Coupe des Mousquetaires for a sixth time, just one day older than the Swede when he achieved the feat in 1981. The victory also means that the Spaniard will retain the number one spot when the new world rankings are released on Monday morning, holding off Novak Djokovic, who had threatened to overtake him.
